When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in January around $962 and peak in December near $1,680, 75% dearer, across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 15 hours outbound, on a 9-night trip — ticketed under Flair, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $962 for 11,311 km each way, that works out to about $43 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $42 per 1,000 km typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 28 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Tokyo, this fare ranks 27th — 1.6× the $592 we hold from Milan. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 44 routes of similar length we watch out of Mexico City, where the middle fare is $1,078. The best time to be in Tokyo: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.

Good to know
MEX → TYO, answered.
Is $962 a good price for Mexico City to Tokyo?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $1,300 round-trip. At $962 you're 26% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Mexico City to Tokyo?
Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Tokyo are Mar–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Tokyo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 7 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Mexico City to Tokyo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Flair. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
